[SET COMMENTS]
Ting-Lu is an outstanding wall, utilizing its immense bulk, Vessel of Ruin, and useful defensive typing to check threats such as Dragapult, Espathra, and Tapu Koko well. With access to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, Ting-Lu is a flexible entry hazard setter that supports its teammates well. Ruination allows Ting-Lu to pressure Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Tornadus-T, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T, which don't care about its Earthquake. Rest is an option for more longevity across the length of a game, but it renders Ting-Lu useless for a few turns. Whirlwind works exceptionally well with other hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Mega Diancie, as it lets Ting-Lu wear down Pokemon quickly for its teammates, as well as phazing setup sweepers such as Espathra and Dragonite easily. Water is the primary Tera type for Ting-Lu, being overall solid defensively and letting it switch into Barraskewda and Weavile easily. Ghost is also a solid Tera type, as it lets Ting-Lu check Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant, as well as blocking Rapid Spin attempts from Great Tusk. Water-types such as Barraskewda, Urshifu-R, and Floatzel easily force Ting-Lu out, making Water-resistant teammates such as Ferrothorn, Slowbro, and Dragonite great partners. Due to Ting-Lu's susceptibility to Fighting-types like Mega Medicham, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta, Pokemon like Gholdengo, Tornadus-T, and Skeledirge work really well alongside it. Gholdengo in particular forms a potent defensive core with Ting-Lu, preventing its entry hazards from being Defogged. Wallbreakers such as Urshifu-R, Dragapult, and Iron Valiant all pair amazingly with Ting-Lu's hazard support. Lastly, due to Ting-Lu's susceptibility to hazard chip damage, entry hazard removers like Tornadus-T, Rotom-W, and Great Tusk are invaluable partners.
